2019: Donald Duke declares intention to run against Buhari

A former
Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has declared his interest to
contest for the Office of President, in the upcoming 2019 general elections.

The
56-year-old made the announcement during an interview with Deutsche Welle
Africa on Friday.

He is yet to
disclose the platform on which he will be running.

When asked
what he thinks he can do better than Buhari, he said the current administration
was totally out of tune with the current realities of Nigeria.

“I see such
obvious failings; I see a leadership that is steeped in the past and that’s
really refused to evolve with a nation that’s predominantly a nation of young,
aspiring people, and still doing the things the way they were done many many
years ago and did not work.

“I think our
leadership in the country today is totally out of tune with the current
realities of our nation. There’s a disconnect somewhere. So, when you have a
leadership that blames its young people, for instance, of not striving enough,
or being lazy, it’s a disconnect because the tools to make them achieve their
aspirations have not been provided.

“Look at the
state of education. The state of education today is a far cry from what I
received. So the elites amongst us try to send their children abroad; that’s a
dream. They’re gonna breed a generation of children who are disconnected from
home and from abroad.

“We had good
schools here that could compete with schools anywhere in the world. We had some
of the best medical facilities in the 60s and early 70s, all of that has gone
to rot. The president himself receives medical treatment abroad. That is a sad
state of affairs.

“We can’t go
on this way and keep complaining. Someone has to take the bull by the horns and
I intend to do that,” Duke said.
